Good Omens, bad slash
Y'know, I understand that of course there will be slash of Good Omens. I mean, you take an angel and a demon, make them unlikely friends and loyal allies (not to mention the two main protagonists of a book), give them a relationship called an Arrangement with a capital A upon which most of the plot hangs, and then place a lot of emphasis on the angel's stereotypically gay characteristics--plus---plus!--even have another main character in the book mistake them for a pair of lovers, and yes, slash will happen.
But that doesn't mean it should happen.
Because somehow, despite all the things referenced above, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett somehow managed to create the most asexual "mismatched angel-devil duo" I have yet come across, who really--really!--really seem nothing more than old friends.
If there is some kind of prize for that, they should win it.
All the people writing Crowley/Aziraphale slash should take up Russian, read the atrocious-yet-fairly-entertaining "My Wife is A Witch" and "The Little Sister From Hell" books by Andrei Belyanin, and write Farmazon/Ancifer slash instead. Or Dogma Bartelby/Loki slash. They're both angels but they're also both fallen, so it kinda works out the same.
Or else if they want mismatched partner slash and aren't dead set on it being of the angel/demon kind, they should watch Fastlane. Because, damn.
Still the slashiest stuff I've ever seen. And in this vid you don't even get to hear them talking about Van's ass all the time.
